thanks for the response.

I've already done this successfully.  Unfortunately, the approach is  
limited by the type of ink in the black position.  I get a nice, no  
nonsense profile for matte papers (Eboni in black position), but have  
to switch to PhotoBlack to work with glossy surfaces.  One of the  
nice things about UT-3d is that you can print on both matte and  
glossy paper by changing only the profile, not the ink.  But, of  
course, that requires some pretty weird "color" profiling, which is  
not going to be PFP-able.
